Why Oxen Acres

A short list of non-negotiables.

We could write a long list. These are the four that matter most — the ones that decide whether a property looks loved or just maintained.

We sweat the small things.

Crisp bed edges. Mulch at the right depth — not piled like volcanoes on a tree trunk. Pruning cuts that heal cleanly. The details are the job.

No two yards alike.

What works on one property doesn't work on the next. The soil is different, the sun is different, the way the family lives outside is different. We don't have a template — every yard gets a plan built around what's actually in front of us.

Plants over pictures.

Landscapes that look great in a photo and die by August aren't landscapes. We design for what survives a Mid-Atlantic summer and a Mid-Atlantic winter — and looks better every year.

Communication you don't have to chase.

You know when we're coming. You know what we did. You get an answer when you ask a question. We treat your property — and your time — like we'd want our own treated.

Working with us

From inquiry to invoice — in four steps.

We keep it simple. Here's exactly what to expect from the moment you reach out.

  1. Step 1:Send photos & details

    Fill out the Insta-Quote form — tell us about the project and add a few photos of the area. The more we see, the better your number.

  2. Step 2:Get a ballpark range

    We do our homework and email you a ballpark price range — within two business days. No site visit required to get a number.

  3. Step 3:We meet to finalize

    If the range works for you, we come out to walk the project, confirm scope, and lock in the details.

  4. Step 4:Schedule & secure billing

    Your project goes on the calendar. After the work, you get an invoice by email — pay securely online when it suits you.

Where we work

Charles Town, West Virginia, and Ashburn, Virginia.

We know this corner of the Mid-Atlantic. We work properties from the suburban neighborhoods around Ashburn out through the rolling country toward Charles Town, West Virginia. If your home is here, there's a good chance we already work nearby.

In their words

Word of mouth is how we grow.

We don't run ads. We don't chase volume. Most of our work comes from neighbors who've seen what we do down the street — and from clients who took the time to leave a review.

  • "Also licensed in WV where I live, they transformed my dull and neglected front landscape into a show stopper. The transformation was amazing. Prices are very reasonable and all the many services provided reflect what a comprehensive landscaping company they are. Bonus they showed up on time, completed the work as projected and left the property completely manicured. I highly recommend."

What areas do you serve?

Our home base is Charles Town, West Virginia. We take on other parts of Jefferson County on a case-by-case basis, and we travel east across the Blue Ridge into Loudoun County, Virginia, where Ashburn is our focus — with select projects elsewhere in Loudoun on a case-by-case basis. If you're nearby, ask.

How quickly can you start?

For smaller maintenance and trimming work, usually within one to two weeks of the proposal. Larger landscape and renovation projects depend on scope and season — we'll give you a realistic start window in writing.

Who actually does the work?

Every project is owner-managed — planned and overseen by the owner, never handed off to rotating subcontractors. We keep our crew small and grow slowly on purpose, so the person accountable for your property is the one who quoted it.
